Large Cottages in Dorset for Group Holidays

Large houses to rent in Dorset for every occasion

Nestled in the southwest of England lies Dorset - an idyllic county renowned for its areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, rolling hills, incredible coastline and rugged landscapes. Popular with holidaymakers of all ages, it's a brilliant choice for a large group holiday, whatever the occasion.

Whether you choose to take your break in Bournemouth or Poole, Lyme Regis or Dorchester, you'll find the perfect group accommodation in Dorset to suit your crew's every need with Big Cottages.

Take your pick from rustic cottages in the countryside, gorgeous beach houses overlooking the sea, sprawling barn conversions surrounded by nature and even converted chapels brimming with character.

Why holiday in Dorset?

From its rolling green hills and chalk downlands to its picture-perfect towns and the award-winning Jurassic Coast, most of Dorset has been designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and draws in visitors from all over the world.

As well as the countless sandy beaches, stunning clifftop walks and dreamy market towns and villages, Dorset is a truly special place to spend time with friends and family. You can forage for fossils, rummage in rock pools and soak up the sunshine on countless soft, golden beaches.

With so many beautiful places in Dorset to explore, it can be difficult to know where to stay.

Lyme Regis is known as the 'pearl of Dorset,' and is famous for its curved harbour wall and fossil-rich beaches, perfect for a treasure hunt! Bridport is a great choice if you fancy basing yourself in a pretty, bustling market town. It's also just a couple of miles from the Jurassic Coastline, so you can spend your days shopping and relaxing before heading off to enjoy the sights of the coast.

Bournemouth is one of the most popular seaside towns in the UK, with plenty of attractions, a brilliant beach and loads of choices to eat and drink. Another top choice for your trip to Dorset is Poole, where you can marvel at Europe's biggest natural harbour before making your way to the epic Sandbanks Beach. Try your hand at some watersports or just chill out with an ice cream as you take in the sea view.

You'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to natural landmarks in Dorset. The iconic Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove and Old Harry Rocks make for fantastic days out, or why not grab your walking shoes and go on an adventure through Purbeck Hills, Hardy Country, or the breathtaking South West Coast Path?

What our customers say about their holidays

  • Clare - Verified booking

    We stayed as a family of 5 at the old stables for 7 nights.

    When we arrived, we were impressed with how clean the property was and the facilities. My children loved the games room and that was a real bonus on the rainy days we had. The property was well kitted out with all the equipment you could need. Plenty of crockery, glasses and cooking utensils. I was especially impressed there was hand wash in every bathroom and the kitchen. There was rinse aid, dishwasher tablets and washing powder and softener for the duration of our stay. It was a lovely touch to have some biscuits and milk left for us after a long journey. We also arrived to fully stocked teabags and sugar. The location of the old stables is perfect and close to all amenities. The crown pub down the road is excellent. If I would recommend anything is improved, I would say the mattresses. They are so hard and don’t offer much support to your back and hips and even my children thought they were hard. Whilst I recognise the importance of durability, I think this is the only minor negative of the accommodation. We will definitely be back and I wouldn’t let the hard mattress put me off.

    Cajun Cottage is amazing.

    Spotlessly clean, a good size and within crawling distance of the local hostelries, where we ate every day, twice a day. The walks in the area are many and varied, so you can can choose to suit your abilities. One fairly easy walk that we loved was from Ringstead to Osmington Mills where, the very picturesque Smuggler's Inn is situated for a great choice of food/drinks before heading back again. This walk combines woodland and cliff with stunning views. Also, I've never seen so many butterflies as were along that 2 mile walk. They were amazing! We also walked the more difficult route to Durdle Door and later in the day took a Rib ride to see it from the sea. That was great too. Lulworth is such a lovely place to unwind and recharge your batteries. We've now been there about 4 times and will definitely return, hopefully back to Cajun Cottage as that's the best accommodation we've had so far and doubt we could find better. Tyneham is also well worth a visit and has a nice flat walk to the coast.

    Always a pleasure to come and stay at Cajun.

    Cottage. 4th time. Perfect situation for a short stay. My niggle was the heating. It's had been very wet and rainy and we needed to dry out and feel warmer. The heating thermostat booster didn't work and in order to get the heating on we had to turn the dial up to 25.. even though the cottage felt cold. I left a note for the caretaker to reset the heating times and take off any pre set times they locked on. Perhaps a new thermostat. The bins hadn't been emptied for some time. We put our 1 bag in and hauled the black bin to the front of the cottage before we left. The other bins also needed to be emptied. Basic stuff really.. Because the heating wasn't coming on properly we had to use the log fire And bought our own logs. The chimney might need a brush as the fire was quite Smokey with back draft. That may have been the awful weather. Recommendation.. A little light weight vacumme would be useful.

    We had an absolutely wonderful stay for two nights at The Old Stables.

    The accommodation was just perfect for what we needed and it provided easy access to some great countryside sights and the coast. Everything we could have possibly needed was provided - I've never seen so many cups, glasses etc ... and loved the biscuits :) The only downside was when we first arrived, I walked along the corridor to the end bedroom and hadn't switched the light on. I didn't notice the step, went flying and hit the floor on my knees. I didn't notice anything about the step on the accommodation details (of course I may have missed it), so it would be worth making it a bit clearer if possible as if my elderly mother-in-law had walked down there first, the situation could have been a lot worse. It didn't spoil our break at all - just tender knees for a few days ;) - and we will definitely be coming back. Thank you very much and wishing you all a wonderful Christmas in the meantime. Sue

  • Paula - Verified booking

    The cottage is situated in a beautiful location and was clean on our arrival.

    We contacted the house keeper as wasn't sure if the log basket had been refilled as only 4 small logs, a few off cuts from tree branches and kindling - there was no matches or ignition lighter. We were told that yes it had been refilled and that was all that was left out for her to put in the basket. We found this quite unacceptable having to purchase our first batch logs, which in theory we had already paid for. She explained that she has no idea what is left until she arrives at the cottage and can't find replacements! There was no cleaning products for the toilets or bathroom only one hard surface spray in the kitchen and one cloth. Considering the cost of the cottage and the fact the owners request it is left clean on departure you would have thought they'd be available. We did ask her to pass our message on to the owner - she replied "I will do that." We heard nothing back.
